That would leave the promoter with a substantial opponent bill before covering its own headliner.

“Gary & Muratalla want 3ms to get in the ring with me.. I would love to fight both them guys tho Zuffa gotta cough that 💰 up!” Shakur wrote on X.

The $3 million figures are Shakur’s account of their demands. His post does not reveal his own purse or establish how close Zuffa is to securing either opponent.
